I've never gotten them this early before! I think March is the earliest that they've reared their ugly head. So, I am not a happy camper. It started with a sore throat, but luckily that has mostly subsided. Now I've got the sniffles, post-nasal drip, and an itchy mouth/throat.

I am, however, rejoicing that my eyes haven't gotten the message yet! That is not a pretty sight (PUN TOTALLY INTENDED).

Annndddd....there's nothing wrong with being weird. It is a perfectly normal state of being.

I don't know how to be anything but me. People can like it or walk away, slowly

One more thing... All these people in relationships keep posting stuff on Facebook like "chin up! Being single isn't that bad! You'll find someone some day!"

I get what they're trying to do, but... Y'all do realize you're not experts on singlehood just because you got OUT of it, right? Just sayin. Maybe let us forever alones feel our feels today. (Although, the only feels I have today are happy ones. Because chocolate. Also, I've never really cared about Valentine's Day to begin with. )

1) I went on made search for brownies today.
2) I bought that same exact card for my SO!! I put a corny/pun tag on everything I got him so it was the perfect card.

How funny is that? When did we become the same person. Last week we were eating english muffins at the same time

SCG, I thought someone mentioned allergies in the last day or two, but I couldn't remember who it was. The past few days I've been sniffling, but I don't feel sick. This morning I woke up at 4 am and was so congested I couldn't breath through my nose, and this is with me taking Claritin year-round. My throat has that nasty, scratchy pollen feeling too. This is nuts! It's February for pete's sake!

there is a little grocery store near my doctor's office and i popped in there on my way home (the fact that the weather stinks had NOTHING to do with it). i bought myself some pork schnitzel, packaged mushroom risotto (which is better than i thought it would be), frozen asparagus tips and a mini blueberry cheesecake.

this was a nice dinner to have with a glass of merlot and now i'm waiting for my cheesecake to thaw!

Byron,GA> Charleston, SC> Jacksonville, FL> Guilford, CT> Rohnert Park, CA! A southern drawl in sunny Cali! . The amount of time from slipping on the peel and landing on the pavement is exactly one bananosecond.I do have a secret yen for pink in unexpected places. ~ninja dogI've decided that I'll never get down to my original weight, and I'm OK with that--After all, 8 pounds 2 oz. is just not realistic.

You don't have a job, you don't have anywhere to live, you have two teenagers that skip more school then they go to and you seem ok with that, and now you think it's a good time to go to Cuba. Good for you!

I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

aww, I love hearing about cute valentine's day moments/presents/surprises!

I went to the gym today specifically so I could eat this entire bag of hershey's kisses without feeling guilty. now i'm going to watch cheesy chick flicks (he's just not that into you and valentine's day, if you were wondering (you probably weren't)) and no one can stop me!!
